The Packaging Federation has co-signed a UK food and drink industry letter to MPs, advising on key Brexit outcomes.

The likes of the Food and Drink Federation, British Frozen Food Federation, CPI and British Hospitality Association are among the many signatories of the letter which addresses concerns over Brexit and how it could adversely impact businesses responsible for producing, packaging, distributing, serving and selling food and drink, if they are not properly protected.

Included in the letter are key outcomes as viewed by industry representatives. These include; a reasonable transitional period for the industry to prepare for any changes arising from Brexit, development of homegrown talent and maintaining confidence in UK food safety through regulation.
